My tuppence'orth:
EUTHANASIA:
Despite reading up on the subject and considering carefully both sides of the debate, I've never been in a situation involving this, so I'm not qualified to comment. My input would be completely unqualified, ignorant and of no practical worth. If I have an opinion on this, I'll keep it to myself to avoid fuelling a pointless and irresolvable debate with more useless and irrelevant data. In short, I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, so any opinion from me would be absolutely worthless.
Until I have to make this decision, I will keep my ignorant and baseless opinions to myself out of respect for others.
ABORTION:

Mind you, all of the above is just my opinion. The abortion and euthanasia debates rage on, will never be resolved, and I'd bet pounds to pennies that at least 90% of the people doing all the shouting have no first-hand experience of either. My decision to withhold my opinion on these matters is based on my observations of the pointlessness of debating these sorts of topics. If someone chooses to go ahead and debate anyway just for the fun of it, I won't think any less of them - but unless they have first-hand experience, I will always consider their input completely worthless. |
